Starting your own business may be easier than you think. Many people right now are fearing the economy and their own financial futures. The problem with fear is that it paralysis people. People begin to be afraid to start new business ventures for a variety of fears especially lack of venture capital. The fact is, you don’t need much money to get started.
There is never a perfect time to start your own business. I started my first business right after I got a “real job” out of college. The schedule was hectic but I had a vision or a goal and I went after it. I had to put in some long hours after my day job but I was okay with that because I knew what my outcome was going to be. The outcome was to get to a financial point in my life where I could fire my boss and never look back.
My first entrepreneurial job out of college was to instruct pitchers how to throw a Baseball. I was good at it and now I’m great at it; I still do it. Why? I enjoy it, the income is decent and the kids need my help. The Pitching Academy started as a way to make a side income and it has really become a full time opportunity. My way of advertising was showing up at the ballparks talking to parents about what I do. That still works, but now when I go to the ballparks people line up to take lessons. I’m not bragging! I’m just saying no matter what your passion is get started on it right away.
Not long after I had several hundred students I thought it was necessary to start an online business for The Pitching Academy. I wanted to help a much broader audience but just didn’t have the time. A year later I had a small list of 1,000 email addresses. It was a snails start but I had no idea what I was doing. After reading several books on how to start and run an online business I began to get better at marketing and have collected thousands of e-mail addresses that are to a specific target audience.
This type of work is much more enjoyable than working for anyone else!
Perhaps the easiest business to start is an online marketing business. The startup cost is very minimal and the technology is much easier to use (and cheaper) than it has ever been. When I first started internet marketing I was very intimidated by computers because the internet was so foreign to me. I never had purchased anything online at that point in my life and wondered if anyone would buy my pitching DVD. I also didn’t know how to market the DVD once I had created it.
